Morfa Mawddach railway station, Gwynedd

Opened in 1865 on the Aberystwyth & Welsh Coast Railway's line from Machynlleth to Pwllheli, this soon became part of the Cambrian Railway's empire. The station was called Barmouth Junction until 1960. View south towards Fairbourne and Machynlleth. There were previously four platforms here, two for Machynlleth to the right and two to the left for Dolgellau and Ruabon (closed in 1965). Taken from a similar position to SH6214 : Morfa Mawddach Station some 53 years earlier.

Afon Mawddach estuary

The south bank of the Afon Mawddach estuary. To the west is Barmouth Bridge which, apart from the railway track, has a footbridge incorporated on the eastern side of the bridge and pedestrians, cyclists and motorcycles can cross the estuary by the side of the track. Since 1996, this has formed part of the National Cycle Route that links North and South Wales. Also, a few hundred metres to the south, the Mawddach Trail (footpath and cycle route) follows a disused railway line and runs for 9 miles along the estuary from Dolgellau to Barmouth. So if you enjoy cycling - an ideal place to bring your bike!
